At an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive at the same time, which vehicle yields?

• A. The vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right.
• B. The vehicle on the right yields to the vehicle on the left.
• C. Vehicles must stop and proceed when clear.
• D. Yield to the vehicle that arrives first, regardless of side.

Answer: (A)

The general rule being tested is who has the right of way at an unsignaled intersection when both vehicles arrive at the same time. In that situation, you yield to the vehicle on your right. So the driver on the left gives way to the driver on the right, allowing the right-side vehicle to proceed first. Stay slow, make eye contact if possible, and go only when the right-side vehicle has started through or has cleared the intersection, then proceed when it’s safe. This rule helps prevent confusion and keeps traffic moving smoothly when signals aren’t present.
